The Café…..

The Café opened on the 17th of November 2017. I (Leah, chief cake maker and cook) decided to branch out from making cakes for cafés in the local area and start a café of my own. After lots of renovation to the inside of the building I opened Mafon. It was a small team back then consisting of myself, Jack (the barista) and Ruby (my daughter) and Medi as weekenders. There are now ten of us! My relief chef Molly joined us from Bluesky where she still works and comes up with delicious creations when I’m away from the café.

Our focus is on using fresh and local (where possible) ingredients and produce. We have a varied menu and create lots of vegan and gluten free cakes as well as vegan, vegetarian and meaty breakfasts and lunch meals. Once a month we have an evening meal which consists of three courses where people bring their own alcohol. Some of our favourite evenings have been the Curry night, Ethiopian and Mexican nights. These nights are always great fun and they sell out fast! Keep an eye out for the next one…

We have just celebrated our first birthday and look forward to growing the café and continuing to create new and exciting meals……
